REDMex extends a warm welcome to all international participants joining the 23rd edition of ExpoCiencias Mexico, which will be held in person in the city of Tampico, Tamaulipas.
The presence of projects from different parts of the world has strengthened ExpoCiencias Mexico’s reputation as the most prominent science and technology event in the country. Each year, nearly 500 national projects and around 100 international projects — from Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Africa — come together to celebrate science, technology, and culture.
WHO
ExpoSciences is the largest science and technology event in Mexico, promoting the engagement of children and youth from preschool through higher education.
The program, led by the National Network of Activities in Science and Technology (LaREDMex), is recognized by the International Movement for Leisure Activities in Science and Technology (MILSET). It is aimed at involving young people in research, innovation, and science communication projects.
As part of ExpoCiencias Mexico, a parallel program is hosted for international participants from more than 12 countries, who compete for recognition across various project areas.
ABOUT
In December, the weather is characterized by being mild and pleasant, ideal for enjoying outdoor activities without the extremes of summer heat or winter cold. High temperatures average around 24°C (75°F), while lows are around 18°C (64°F). Additionally, the chance of rain is low—about 14%—ensuring mostly dry and clear days.
Tampico is a port city in southern Tamaulipas, situated on the banks of the Pánuco River and near the Gulf of Mexico. Founded in 1823, it became a major commercial and oil hub in the early 20th century, attracting foreign companies and immigrants who left a lasting impact on its European-style architecture. Tampico’s rich history includes foreign interventions, industrial growth, and a vibrant regional culture. Today, it is known for its historical significance, Huastecan cuisine, and its strategic role in maritime trade and the energy sector.
